LexTran vote
won't hurt UK

By Brenna Reilly
News Editor

and Lindsay Hendrix
.Stafl~ Writer

Now that Fayette County vot—
ers said no to an .25 increase in
payroll taxes to fund LexTran,
officials say they have only one
option — the city government.

“Our plan was the tax,” said
Jenny Williams, director ofmar—
keting for LexTran. “Without
that we have to look to the city
government."

The proposed tax increase
would have raised the 2.25 occu-
pational license fee percent to 2.5

ercent. The tax increase would
have generated about $4.5 mil—
lion in revenue in the next year,
and more later on. The support
among the 5,000 daily users of
LexTran and their supporters
were not enough to pass the tax.

But without the extra funding,
Lextran will officials say they will
be incapable ofincreasing service,
and may even have to cut back
current services.

“\Ve‘re faced with a lot of
rrave issues that were all going to
be handled by the tax," Williams
said.

LexTran officials said they will
hold an emergency meeting
tonight to plan.

Although LexTran officials say
they will have to cut services,
they said UK will not feel the
effects of the cutbacks right away.

Since UK routes are heavily
subsidized by the University, the
routes will not be the first to be
cut from the system.

“We are in a holding pattern,”
said UK Director of Parking Don
Thornton. “We will have to wait
and see what happens.”

Thornton said if LexTran
does shut down, the University
would have to find an alternative
system of mass transit to move
the students from the perimeter
parking lots to the academic cen-
ter of campus.

()ne of the alternatives would
be to contract a private company
to provide transportation to and
from Central Campus to the
parking lots.

There are three ways that uni—
versities comparable to UK trans—
port students, Thornton said.
One way is UK’s current system,
relying on local public mass tran—
sit. Another is hiring a private
company to control the program
and the third is for the University
to provide the service.

“We have to provide this ser-
vice in one way or another,”
Thornton said. “It is absolutely
essential that students and
employees have this service."

Thornton said the University
does not have enough parking to
accommodate the students and
faculty who currently use the
buses and would be force to drive
without mass transit.

LexTran will continue at its
current status until the end of the
fiscal year in June. At that time
they will enter the new fiscal year
with a new budget, the same time
the Lexington Urban County
Council will decided what fund—
ing LexTran will receive.

“It’s minimal service to this
community,” said Stephen Row-
land, general manager of Lex—
Tran. If people think the public
transportation servrces are
already adequate, Rowland sug-
gests they “ride the bus for a
day," Rowland said. “\Ve can’t
improve without funding.”

“BE AWAY The ROTC fire a rannon in honor of war veterans yesterday

on Administration Lawn.

Veterans join Ball: in ceremony

By Jonathan Lilland
Staff lVriter

With a nick elbow snap, 50
freezing rig t arms of the VVild-
cat Battalion shot to attention to
honor the end of a special day.

“This is our last opportunity
to involve so many (veterans) in
our commemoration of the war,”
said Lt. Col. Robert Farquhar in
a speech yesterday. “It is also our
last opportunity to thank so many
of them."

This year marks the 50th
anniversary of the end of the
tyranny of World War II.

The “flame of freedom’s
lamp" from Farquhar's speech
was literally a torch that glowed a
red candle—like shine throu h the
oncoming dusk. The torc was
lowered to light a big black can-
non’s fuse. When the flame
reached ignition at 5:07 .m., a
single crack resounded t rough
the air, echoing from everywhere.

Veteran's Day will be officially
commemorated this Saturday,
but for the ROTC at UK, yester-
day was the most convenient time
for a ceremony.

Wednesdays are lab days,
when all ROTC students are in
unifomi, and yesterday the cadets
sported their dress “Class A's" on
Administration Lawn.They per-
formed synchronized motions in

response to grunts from their
commanders. The chain of com-
mand seemed to be one leader
barking orders to two other high-
er-ups.

At the strike of 5 p.m., five
cadets began matching up the
sidewalk to the American flag on
the lawn, the flag blowing
straight in the biting wind. As the
other cadets rubbed their hands
together to warm up, the flag—
duty soldiers-in—training solemn-
ly brought down the symbol of
the United States.

They folded it, turned and
saluted.

The flag is normally taken
down by University Police.

“Veterans are black and they
are white they are men, and
they are women,” the speech
read.

“Carrying that torch, young,
inexperienced Americans become
seasoned soldiers,” Farquhar said.

Farquhar, a 19-year Arm vet-
eran, read the Washington .C.-
produced speech slowly. His
father was an Air Force veteran of
World \Var II.

“Guard the fire,” the speech
concluded. The words were ripe
with allusion to light, bright and
brief. The ceremony for Veterans
Day at UK spoke volumes. “The
cannon signifies the end of the
day.” t

The UK women ’s soccer team is

preparing for NCAA play

By Lance Williams
Editor In Chief

It was early in September and
the UK women's soccer team had
just lost a 3-2 overtime match to
James Madison University.

\Vith a sputtering offense and a
team with a broken spirit, Coach
\Varren Lipka had no idea his
team would be preparing
for the first round of the
NCAA ’I"ournament in
early November.

“The way that we start—
ed the season out," Lipka
said.

“I didn't think (our first
tourney appearance) would
be this year."

But following the loss,
the team pulled together
for a meeting to “clear
some things up," Lipka
said.

What evolved from that

meeting was a new sense of
direction and a big win

This weekend, Vandy will pro—
vide another measuring stick for
the \Vildcars m how ready they
are for the NCAA Tournament.

Lipka said the team is

Even the prospect's of
taking an inexperienced

NCAA’s is too worrisome.

“At this point, being able to
play in the SEC Championship
can prepare you to play in a tour-
nament like this," Lipka said.
“Everything is right for us to go
beyond our goals."

Drawing on his experience in
the NCAA Tournament as a play-

for the players to remembers is

”BIIIIiS to receive award

Sraffrepon

On Tuesday, UK wide receiver
lIarold Dennis will receive the
“Sixth Annual Aretc Award for
Courage in Sports."

This award
honors athletes
who have risen

above adversity to
achieve greatness
in sports.

The event,
which takes place
in Chicago, was
founded five years
firgo by lntersport

elevision and CBS golf analyst
Ken Venturi.

“Our goal is to honor those
outstanding athletes whose
careers are inspirational, whose
performances are the revelation of
pure excellence," Venturi said.
“We honor the exceptional ath-
lete, the person driven to do their

 

best not necessarily to be better
than anyone else, but better than
they thought they could be."

Numerous celebrities from the
sports world will take part in the
ceremonies, one ofwhom will be
selected to present Dennis with
his award.

The selection committee fea~
tures stars like BoJacleson, Bonnie
Blair, Frank Thomas and Flo-
rence Griffith Joyner.

Dennis was severely burned in
a bus crash near Carrollton, K '.,
in 1988. The crash claimed t e
lives of 24 children and three
adults.

Dennis walked on the UK foot-
ball team in the spring of 1994 as a
kicker.

He was moved to wide receiver
in the fall of 1994 and has
appeared in five games this year
for the Cats, averaging 21.8 yards
on four kickoff returns and has
caught one pass for eight yards.

Talk Of coach costing “I: title I‘llelllOllS

national championship in school
history.

The (iators are one of three
teams in Division I—.-\ who are
unbeaten. Their record stands at b’~

Carolina Saturday.

The others are top ranked and
defending national champion
Nebraska (9—0) and No. 2 ()hio
State (0—0).

Should all three teams finish the
regular season unbeaten, Florida
and Nebraska would play each
other in the Fiesta Bowl in 'I‘einpe,

the Bowl Alliance that both the
Southeastern Conference and the

\Vlict‘c it gets
complitated is if
both the (iators
and the Buckeyes
win their respcc~
tive bowls.

()lllii State is”
currently ranked
higher than Flori—
da, and this would
present a situation Curry
like last year where both Nebraska

 

 

and Penn State finished the season
unbeaten. The Cornhuskers were
ranked higher heading into the

bowl and thus were crowned
champions.
But some college football

experts believe it's Spiirrier’s high—

attittide.

true," Spurrier said via teleconfer-
ence yesterday.

Wildcats' Prickett glad to be playing

Pztino 51ml he needs
forward on cozm‘

By Jason Dattilo
Spam I'll/"01’

jared I’rickett is now certain of

his status on the Wildcat basketball
team.

The UK forward has been the
talk of redshirt rumors since last
spring. But following Tuesday
night‘s exhibition victory over
Cagiva Varese, Coach Rick Pitino
announced Prickett can count on
seeing game action this season.

\Vith the glut of talent on this

year's roster and the addition of

capable newcotners, Prickett
approached Pitino and asked the
UK coach for a redshirt this sea—
son.

I’itino thoutrht the extra year
would be beneficial to Pricketts
future and enthusiastically agreed
to the redshirt idea. But after a few
week’s of practice, it became obvi-
ous to Pitino that the Cats would
indeed need the services ofthe red—
headed senior from Fairinont, \V.
Va.

“It was going to be hard to sit
there on the bench and watch the
guys go at it," Prickett said. “It’s
better to be a player than a specta—
tor. Coach made the decision, and
that’s fine with me. I'm just glad
it's all over."

The Cats' coaching staff origi—
nally planned to use Scott Padgett
and ()liver Simmons as backups to
the numerous other forwards oti
the UK squad.

However, Padgett was declared
academically ineligible over the
summer and Simmons, a freshman
from Nashville, Tenn., has not
developed fast enough to con—
tribute significant minutes.

“(Prickett) will make our ball—
club even stronger inside and on
the boards," Pitino said. “He's also
a better passer among the big men
and against the pressing type
teams, we need that."

Before receiving the news that
he would be playing this year,
I’rickett said he discussed the idea
of redshirting with several of his
teammates, including Derek

“The SEC coaches voted me
Coach ofthe Year last year. “Ilow
can they do that ifthey dislike the
guy?"

Spurrier said too often some
members of the media have their
opinions changed by others in the
media.

“Some of you guys are listening
to people that write thintrs that are
not necessarily true, Spurrie r said

The I lorida coach agrees with
the placement of I lorida and ( )hio
State at this point in the season.

“(( )hio State) deserves to be
ahead of us," .Spurrier said. “\Ve're
third in the country and we're inst
happy to be there."

Spurrier said the national chain»
pionship is not the primary goal of
his team at this time anyway.

“Our goal is to win the SFC
championship," Spurrier said. “lt's

 

KeNlIrDKY;

Moooooo!

    

 

awfully difficult for us to worry
about the national championship.

“\Ve've got a conference chain--
pionship game and we play Florida
State, who's won more games than
anybody else in the past seieii
years."

Spurrier s aid he puts little
weight in w h it the polls s iv.

1 hose polls ire simply for peo
ple to talk about, and it re illy has
no affect on the way our guys play
the game," he said.

Other SICC coaches said the talk
of Spurrier costing his team a title
is ridiculous.

“You have to vote tor the best
team," said L'K coach l'illl Curry.
who is not exactly best of friends
with the (iator coach. “l’cl‘SUllilll'
ties never enter into anything like
that."

South

Carolina coach Brad

Scott said the whole problem with
Spurrier is blown out of pri )plll‘tli ill
by the media.

“The w a_\ yoti should be lodged

is whether you productive, Scott
said. “\\ hether or not somebody
likes the head coach shouldn' t be a
factor."
